Alejandro Mizsan was playing on a green area of the Old Forge Road estate in Enniscorthy, Wexford, on Sunday when he was attacked by the dog.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has questioned why people own dangerous breeds of dogs telling the Dáil “it is time to go back to the drawing board” in terms of legislation.

He was speaking after a nine-year-old boy was attacked by a pit bull on Sunday in Co Wexford and was left with life-changing injuries.
